Just a geeky comment here, but with the cost of external hard drives dropping, the cost-per-megabyte of these handy storage devices are negligible. If you have a USB port--or even better, USB2 or FireWire--these little things awfully handy. With 200GB models going for around $150, I wouldn't be without one. And you don't have to worry about file sizes. I just copy everything on my PC--except the operating system files--over to an external drive every Saturday or Sunday night before I go to bed. Painless. And if I ever have a hard drive crash on the PC--which I've had happen before--it won't be as painful to get everything back up and running and, worst case, I lost only a few days' of data. --Hughes Williams http://www.relatedlines.com/ ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Sharon Dover Romanek" <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WILLIAMS] need help with rootsweb family trees Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2005 11:27:35 -0500 The one bad thing is if your file gets too large to fit on one CD when you use your burner, it is NOT like the older versions were we used floppies to back up to and could just pop another in the drive and continue. At least 2005 was not. I am not sure if 2006 is set up that way or not, but I am sure on 2005. I asked a Family Treemaker Techie and he said it was not. I am gonna try to find out if 2006 is or not. When I do for sure I will let the list know. One way around the CD thing is if you have a DVD burner you could back up to a DVD and it would fit if it is too large for a750 MB CD. Hope this helps.
